Filters etc always going to the background

Hi,

This is my first post here, so hopefully the right area.

I seem to be having an issue with Gimp, that when I open a filter (any of them), the window always goes to the background and I either have to click it on the task bar or swap to that window.

I have looked everywhere for options to see if I can change this behaviour and tried to google / view archive for this specific issue, but cannot see one, so maybe it's just me.

I think my Gimp Version is 2.2.18

Does someone know what may be causing this please as I believe a previous version I used to run, the popup's would always appear in front of the main window.

Thank you,

Paul

I think this is the right place. But first we need to know, what operating system are you using (name and version number)? And, if your desktop interface has any major options (i.e. "standard" vs. "classic" in Windows) which you are using. Odds are someone with the same setup as you knows the answer to this.

In the meantime, alt+tab is your friend...

:o)

This seems to happen there somewhat more frequently (cf. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732985 or https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753248 ) but is not limited to this platform.

We hope that a user who knows the debugging tools for the windowing system they use can do some research there and figure out what exactly is happening, i.e. what either GIMP or GTK+ would have to do different-
